Thread: Menus appear behind AWT List when spinner is focused

Hi. I have a JFrame with several components. It has a menu at the top, which works fine until a spinner is clicked. The spinner is inside a panel if it helps. When the spinner is interacted with, the menus appear behind the AWT List. They only appear behind the list, and not other things like buttons. Can anyone tell my why this happens, and how I can fix it? Thanks!

I'm using Eclipse with the WindowBuilder plugin. I couldn't get the plugin to make the AWT List, so I programatically declared the list, and added it to the form, so it would show up in the plugin. Then I resized the List using WindowBuilder. Did I miss something?

I've included a ZIP file with a runnable JAR and the source code. The problem is in "main.java".

Sorry, I'm new to Java. This is my first program. Java is almost identical in syntax to C#, which I am an expert in. The only difference seems to be the framework, and instead of "using", its "imports", like VB.NET, which I am also an expert in .

Hello Kanyon,

This seems to be an issue when using both awt and swing. This article should help you find a solution.

Ah, thank you SO MUCH! That article helped me learn a ton about Swing an AWT. I solved my problem by adding this:

public void initialize(){
JPopupMenu.setDefaultLightWeightPopupEnabled(false);
blah blah blah....

By adding that to the top of my code, the menu's always appear at the front. I've been stuck on this problem for a week, and I can't thank you enough.

I asked the same question at DreamInCode, but they banned me, blocked my IP, and filed an ISP complaint because my program is "against RuneScape's TOS". I mean, worry about yourself. They weren't very nice

Thanks again.
